- Runtime

The best known way to get strong suction, LiDAR mapping and a bagged auto empty dock for about $250. RTINGS named the Q7 M5 its best budget robot vacuum, and testers agree it cleans hard floors and carpet well. Long hair still wraps the brush, the mop is basic, and it has no front sensor, so pick up cables first.

A strong carpet and pet hair cleaner with a full self washing dock. Vacuum Wars measured 92% sand and 92% pet hair pickup with no hair wrap. It avoided only 6 of 24 test obstacles, so it suits homes where the floor is kept clear.

What reviewers found
Roborock Q7 M5+
- Tom's Guide: Tested the Q7 M5 robot without the dock: 93.3% overall pickup on tile and 85% on carpet, with 70% of pet and human hair on carpet. Human hair caught on the brush roll and the mop only handled light dirt. Source
- TechRadar: Called the Q7 M5 a brilliant budget bot with accurate mapping and strong pet hair pickup, but it hit every test object, long hair still wrapped the brush and the app had several glitches. Subscores: Value 4/5, Performance 4/5, App 3.5/5. Source
- Vacuum Wars (2.01 Vacuum Wars stars): Above average suction and navigation speed, but average results on embedded sand (75%) and flattened pet hair (79%), 43% hair wrap, and heavy water use when mopping. Source
Roborock Qrevo S5V
- Vacuum Wars (3.30 Vacuum Wars stars): Removed 92% of embedded sand and 92% of flattened pet hair with 0% hair wrap. Dried stain score was 120 against a 93 average. It avoided 6 of 24 obstacles and estimated coverage was about 1,243 sq ft per charge. Source
- Android Authority: Editor's Choice. The reviewer expected 7 to 9 weeks between bag changes and about 750 sq ft of mopping per tank fill. It lacks auto detergent and bunched up bath mats. Source
